The Chapelle expiatoire ("Expiatory Chapel")[3] is a chapel located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France. The chapel was constructed on the grounds where King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette had been buried after they had been guillotined, and it is therefore dedicated to them as an expiation for that act.
The closest métro station is Saint-Augustin
